MOSTLY A'S: You're a FLORAL

You tend to be a little more girly and traditional in your tastes, whether it be a great structured leather handbag or a bottle of Chanel No. 5. Perfume notes that strike your fancy come from flowers, including rose, jasmine, lily, orangeflower, gardenia, violet, freesia, and peony, and make for a sparkling, feminine scent.
